墨西哥城,11月9日——周一公布的官方数据显示,墨西哥10月年通胀率连续第三个月加速,印证了该国货币政策的谨慎立场。
CITY, Nov 9 - Mexico's annual inflation rate accelerated in October for a third consecutive month, official data showed on Monday, backing up a cautious approach in the country's monetary policy.
这个拉美第二大经济体的10月消费者价格同比上涨3.75%,高于9月的3.45%涨幅,也高于路透社调查中经济学家预测的3.65%。
Consumer prices in Latin America's second-largest economy stood at 3.75% in the year through October, accelerating from a 3.45% increase in September and landing higher than economists' forecast in a Reuters poll that expected a 3.65% increase.
备受关注的核心指数剔除了部分波动较大的食品和能源价格,该指数同比上涨3.8%,同样高于9月的3.75%,并略高于3.78%的预期。
The closely watched core index, which strips out some volatile food and energy prices, rose 3.8% annually, also accelerating from the 3.75% registered in September and slightly ahead of expectations of a 3.78% increase.
尽管近期有所上升,整体通胀率和核心年通胀率仍处于墨西哥央行3%上下各一个百分点的目标区间内。
Despite the recent rise, both headline and core annual inflation rates remained within Mexico's central bank target range of 3%, plus or minus a percentage point.
凯投宏观首席新兴市场经济学家威廉·杰克逊表示:“央行似乎极不可能改变其前瞻指引以选择进一步降息。”他还说,他们预计利率将在较长时期内维持在当前水平。
"It seems highly unlikely that the central bank will alter its forward guidance to opt for further interest rate cuts," said William Jackson, chief emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, adding that they expect rates to remain at their current levels for an extended period.
墨西哥央行(又称Banxico)上周出人意料地将基准利率下调25个基点至6.25%,并称之为“一次性调整”。
Mexico's central bank, also known as Banxico, unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate last week by 25 basis points to 6.25%, in what it called a "one-time adjustment".
央行在声明中表示,此次调整将有助于推动通胀向其目标靠拢,并应对外部宏观经济风险。
The central bank said in its statement that the adjustment would help bring inflation towards its target and address external macroeconomic risks.
Banco Base经济分析主管加布里埃拉·西勒表示:“通胀在2027年回归3.0%目标的可能性几乎为零。”
"The likelihood of inflation returning to the 3.0% target in 2027 is virtually nil," Gabriella Siller, Banco Base's economic analysis director, said on In October alone, consumer prices increased 0.65%, following a 0.42% increase the prior month, according to non-seasonally adjusted figures, and compared with economists' expectations of a 0.55% rise.
未经季节调整的数据显示,仅10月消费者价格就上涨0.65%,上月涨幅为0.42%,而经济学家预期为上涨0.55%。与此同时,核心通胀率上涨0.34%,高于市场预期的0.31%。
Meanwhile the core rate rose 0.34%, above a 0.31% market forecast.
